Questions  

According to kinetic theory of gases, at absolute zero temperature,

a
RMS speed becomes zero but some molecules can still move about
b
Average speed becomes zero but some molecules can still move about
c
Most probable speed becomes zero but some molecules can still move about
d
None of the statements is true

detailed solution

Correct option is D

At absolute zero, T = 0.Hence, vRMS=3RTM=0;  vAVG=8RTπM=0;  vMP=2RTM=0.
